As alleged in the Indictment and statements made in public filings and public court proceedings:

From at least in or about 2013 through in or about 2019, MONTRAGE was a member of a criminal enterprise (the “Enterprise”) based in West Africa that committed a series of frauds against individuals and businesses in the U.S., including romance scams

Many of the Enterprise’s romance scam victims were vulnerable, older men and women who lived alone.  The Enterprise frequently conducted the romance scams by sending the victims emails, text messages, and social media messages that deceived the victims into believing that they were in romantic relationships with a person who was, in fact, a fake identity assumed by members of the Enterprise.  Once members of the Enterprise had successfully convinced victims that they were in a romantic relationship and had gained their trust, they convinced the victims, under false pretenses, to transfer money to bank accounts the victims believed were controlled by their romantic interests, when, in fact, the bank accounts were controlled by members of the Enterprise.

MONTRAGE is a Ghanaian public figure who rose to fame as an influencer through her Instagram profile under the username “Hajia4Reall,” which at one point had approximately 3.4 million Instagram followers and was among the top 10 profiles with the most followers in Ghana.

MONTRAGE received money from several victims of romance frauds who members of the Enterprise tricked into sending money. Among the false pretences used to induce victims to send money to MONTRAGE were payments to transport gold to the U.S. from overseas payments to resolve a fake FBI investigation, and payments to assist a fake U.S. Army officer in receiving funds from Afghanistan.

In total, MONTRAGE controlled bank accounts that received over $2 million in fraudulent funds from the Enterprise.

MONTRAGE, 31, of Accra, Ghana, pled guilty to one count of conspiring to receive stolen money, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.  MONTRAGE also agreed to pay forfeiture in the amount of $2,164,758.41 and make restitution in the same amount.  MONTRAGE is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Paul A. Crotty.

The maximum potential sentence in this case is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes only, as any sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the judge

Mr. Williams praised the outstanding work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The case is being prosecuted by the Office’s Complex Frauds and Cybercrime Unit. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Mitzi Steiner and Kevin Mead are in charge of the prosecution.

Apart from all these challenges that they encounter in their marriages, their husbands fail to support them in anything including food preparation, water, and fetching of firewood among others are all the assigned duties of the poor wives.

The funniest and saddest side is that the man only calls for his walking stick when they reach a slippery area. He is the husband, so he sees it wrong to handle his personal bag. The only thing with him is his touch light just for him to have a good view.

These ladies are more faithful to their husbands, they don’t cheat on them like the posh ladies we marry in the towns and cities who only give a complete hell life to their male counterparts who are entitled to all bills.

Based on such harassment, many people prefer not to marry at all. Indeed, it is better for worse when married.

The audit general reports indicate this amount was being paid to only three persons.

The audit general department has done well though, but why can they trace the suspects? Why can’t the BNI investigate? I don’t think that this should be a big deal at all.

He said our leaders have to reason up like serious human beings. He ended by saying we don’t use our mouths or calculators to arrest the dollar. He said we arrest the dollar through the production of goods to have good returns. That is how the system works.
